OMB Guidance on Administrative Costs Related to American Recovery & Reinvestment Act

5/12/2009

Today the White House Office of Management and Budget released a guidance memo regarding administrative costs related to the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act. The memo is designed to encourage states to utilize existing flexibilities to recover administrative costs related to the ARRA in a more timely manner. Specifically, the memo cites the State-wide Cost Allocation Plan (SWCAP) outlined in OMB Circular A-87 as the mechanism for recovering costs. Two options – estimated costs for centralized services or billed services -- are provided for states to recoup costs more quickly than is otherwise allowed under SWCAP.

The memo is attached.
